You can modify the USERFILE and passwd file entries all you want as long
as you keep them consistent. There is nothing special about the 'U', it
just seems to be the convention that DEC chose to use. You don't have to
prepend the 'U' to all of the directory files for each machine that you
connect.
You should modify the passwd file so that the UID for each uucp machine login
is unique and different from the 'uucp' login. If you don't, uucico will fail.
